Patti LaBelle Biography · · · A diva in the tradition of Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner and Whitney Houston, Patti Labelle has been dishing out popular r&b/pop tunes for close to forty years, accumulating gold records, fame, fans and wealth in the process. From her early days as part of her self-titled soul-group Labelle, to her departure to pursue a solo career, Patti has remained as visible, and as talented, as her first day on the scene. · Her initial departure from the group she had practiced, recorded and toured with for fifteen years didn't go smoothly at first. While many bands give up the race after only one or two semi-dismal years, Labelle pursued stardom for close to ten years before finally achieving mass success and receiving the critical recognition she so richly deserved. From the first of her over thirty albums, 1977's Patti Labelle, the singer displayed a presence that commanded respect. With a glass-shattering vocal range and a style that can best be defined as deep , new fans lead to awards which lead to new fans and stardom. She made her mark, but it was through hard work that she achieved this feat.
